Answer:
k=20
Step-by-step explanation:
when x approaches 4, the denominator x-4 approaches 0
if the denominator is 0, it means that this is invalid
if the function is a number over 0 when x=4, it represents a vertical asymptote, which means no limit
so the only way possible to let there be a limit is to let the function be 0/0 when we plug in x=4
so x^2 + x - k = 0 when x = 4
4^2 + 4 - k = 0 ==> 20 - k = 0 ==> k = 20
I think the answer should be 4.7 but rounded up would be 5
You have to get "X" by itself so you subtract 12, 7-12 is -5 so "X" = - 5
The identity property is shown
